cold - preventive medication

This is concotation is being passed on for generations in our family. we give this to every child in our family till they are 5 yrs all the way from 2months of age. This not only keep the digestive system strong but also prevents cold and cough in children.
In 200 ML water boil 1/2tea spoon of fenugreek seeds, 2 corns of vovding (its a sanskrit word, dont know the english word for this), 2 tender leaves of tulsi and 1/2inch of red rock sugar. boil this till the water is reduced to 100 ml. let it cool down and feed this to your baby every morning.
I personally swear by it, i have a 1.7yrs old toddler and touchwood has a good immune system.

honey,lemon is for diet

i am on diet and i drink honey and lemon with lukewarm water.i have reduced 5lbs in 1 month.
get your daughter checked with some good dr, your child might be needing some medicines. i live in chicago and in winters my kids need an antibiotic. they get viral infections in winters.
tylnol or motrin is not for cold and cough.
hope this helps you.
